Prior to this partnership, we
could house only a handful of
small animals in our Adoption
Center and averaged about
250 adoptions per year.
Nevada Rabbits
Hundreds of domestic rabbits were rescued from a dumping ground outside of Las Vegas in August.They were caravanned across the country, with the last stop being Maine.We
were able to take in 18 rabbits and
find them new homes through our satellite adoption program.
Florida Cats
In the aftermath of Hurricane Michael, we
took in 15 cats that had previously been in
Florida shelters. Our support allowed local shelters to clear kennel space for family pets displaced due to the storm.These cats got the second chance they needed at AWS.
Puerto Rico Dogs
After stepping in to assist after Hurricane Maria in 2017, we began a regular relationship with a street dog rescue group in PR, opening up
our kennels for 78 dogs to find new
homes in Maine.
Homeward Bound
Thanks to the many pet lovers in our
community, the average length of
time pets wait in the AWS Adoption
Center for their new family is less
6.8 than a week, only
days.
